I just got charged for my Pulse Sideways a day or two ago. Based on how they've been doing recently, I expect to get a shipping notice for him any time now.

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. I'd honestly felt like I might be the only one out there who legitimately likes MP Ravage!

I'm a little mixed on Soundwave. I know everyone loves to hate on Siege, but I always found that preferable to huge fields of smooth, untextured plastic. This one reminds me a bit too much of Music Label Soundwave for that reason. On the other hand, his alt mode looks more natural, and less like...

I took a quick glance at the comments on TFW about him, and just kept seeing complaints about how small he is compared to Lio and Magmatron. Meanwhile, I was disappoined that he seems to be a bit too big. Doesn't seem to be too far off at least. And given the angle the camera's at (note Big's...

Those are Blokees Galaxy Version model kits. They don't transform or combine. Blokees does have another line of model kits (Defender Version) that's a smaller, more super-deformed style and includes both robot-mode kits and alt-mode kits. They haven't done all the Constructicons in robot mode...

The lighting is definitely having an impact. They look more blue than purple to me in the pictures. In person, they are definitely substantially more blue than the CW or SS86 purples, but they still immediately read as purple. For what it's worth, these G1 toys are the Encore release. I don't...

Somehow, I never realized this thread existed before. Never been one of my top-tier favorites, but I've been a fan since getting the original via the Nintendo Power promotion. I've got a pretty decent collection of the mainline games, though I never got around to picking up the NES version of...

And some alt-mode pics. By team: By character: And I'm surprised that I managed to fit them all on the shelf at once after a few tries.

I was really wanting to get that Vector Prime kit, but decided to hold off due to finances. If you need to glue on the leg panels, that just might drop it from a maybe to a pass. I really don't like making permanent changes like that. I'll do it if it's worthwhile enough, but I'm not sold on it...

Oh, I have them. 😆 Didn't put out the robot mode guys since it's only Bonecrusher and Scavenger. (I really hope they do the rest!) The vehicles will be in the alt mode pics, assuming I get to those. I think Show.Z FINALLY shipped the Devastator kit, so hopefully it'll only be a couple more...

Saw the Target app showed Mixmaster in stock at my local store, so I stopped in on the way to work. They had to get it from the back, but my team is now complete! Hoping to do some shots of the different teams and characters, along with some alt modes, over the next few days. For now though...

Got Scavenger yesterday, and Megatron and Fireflight are on the way. That's it so far from Pulse. I really want Mixmaster to get here soon. On this point, I mentioned Percy Jackson specifically for a reason. To quote from Lightning Thief: It's explicitly there in the story that there is a...

There is no shortage of stories about gods and immortals secretly living amongst humanity without revealing their true nature. Alchemist/Maccadam is pretty explictly a Cybertronian example of that trope. Given that, I don't really understand why some, or even all, of the Thirteen still being...

I don't think it ultimately matters how it was done or if that's how they intended it. At the end of the day, the art is imitating life. I can fully appreciate that.

Energon Tidal Wave is another one that got given away when I moved. That one still stings a bit too. It shouldn't. I'm really trying to scale back my collection right now, and that's one that I can definitely do without. Still wish I still had it anyway...

To each their own. I prefer the redder purple on both Skywarp and the Insecticons. And pretty much everywhere else too.

I'd love those painted accessories, but not enough to pay for everything else in this set that I have no real interest in. Skywarp, Shrapnel, and Kickback are sidegrades at best, while Bombshell is of absolutely no interest to me at all. I'm very happy sticking with the normal WfC releases. I...

I had that Magnus, along with Final Battle Optimus and Powerlinx Jetfire. When my wife and I moved from California back to Michigan, I decided to reduce how much we had to move and gave the set of them to a kid in our apartment complex. Overall, I'm still happy with that decision, but I have to...

I still can't believe that HasTak have had two different versions of Siege/Earthrise Ravage and Laserbeak gang molded together for the better part of a decade and never released either version as Howlback and Garboil. 😫

There's one additional picture available on TFW's update that appears to answer this better: The blue side panel on his left leg can't get into that position without bending his leg forward at the hip.
